Im going to the US to shop but I don't have a birth certificate. I am 13 years old. I do have my health card, General Hospital card, my baby health number, and a Notice of birth registration (which clearly says on the back that this is not a birth certificate). Will this be enough to get across. The Birth Registration says "it may be used as proof of age or school purposes".. also would i be able to photo copy these documents or would i need the actual documents?

At 13 you need your birth certificate and your parents to cross the border. If traveling with other adults other than your parents, you need a signed letter of permission from your parents.
Photocopies of documents are easily forged and therefore you always need the originals.

How is it possible for you to not have a birth certificate? Ask your parents to see if they have one. Also, I'd suggest you apply for a passport. It's a lot easier to use as identification since it has photo idea and stuff. Apply for one now! it'll come in useful.

Your health card is not a valid form of identification for anything other than receiving health care.
You will need proof of citizenship and proof of residency.

You can't cross the border alone if you're only 13, and you need a passport now.
